    Just checking PLO20 cash games count towards this? Was only gonna play 1 hand to get my raked hand for the day. Ended up playing HU for 5 mins....left 40p up :)

    Does HU count towards this, or do there have to be more than 2 players.

    Well thats my 3rd raked hand, 2 to go. Day 1 made 93p, day 2 made £22, today lost 50p. I only played 1 circuit each day so ive been a bit of a hit and runner but these stakes are over my br to play over a period of time, is anyone else doing this.

    Done this for the first 2 days, played 3 orbits for my raked hands and currently 70p down. 

    Having had a quick look I might just shortstack for a while on at least one of the remaining days and see how it goes.

    Any cats in the area might be wise to keep away if I do play though. ;o)

    Played nl20 with a full buy-in for over an hour last night and same again this morning.

    Now have 4 raked hands towards the entry, just over £12 profit from doing this, and a real incentive to build a BR to play at this level again in the future because I've not felt out of my depth at nl20. If anything I've felt more comfortable than at nl4.

    Also have an idea on maybe how to build that BR that I'll give a whirl to in the new year.

    And all from trying to qualify for a freeroll. TY Sky.

    Hi again Sky Santa. I have played Cash twice now to try and get a Grotto seat. I have had mixed results. first day I got against an aggro player and was far to passive and lost the £5 I put in. I then Played today and put in £8 and spun it up to £34 but had a few horror beats and ended up doing it back. I hope this will have helped my Cash 4 Points total. I will try to play again 3 more times and get a seat in my own right, but if you could see your way to giving me a seat then I will be able to save getting my backside tanned again in the Cash games. Lets hope this message is either balanced enough or gets me a lucky nod for the tourney. Best wishes. Shaun the Villa fan in Bham

    Ive just completed the qualification criteria to the grotto freeroll. I thought that skypoker would just enter us into it upon qualification but it appears that its gonna be a free for all on the 22nd at 4pm, they must be giving us the password or something then.

    Santa's Grotto Freeroll will take place on the 23rd December at 7.15pm. Registration will open from 4pm on the 22nd December when eligible customers will be notified by email and/or sms. Make sure your contact details are up to date! This tournament will be capped at 2000 and registration will be on a first-come first-served basis. You will be able to confirm your registration as soon as you receive notification. Good Luck!

    Well I've got 4 of my days out the way now... managed to lose between 20p and £1.50 each day by just doing the 1 orbit and having junk.

    Done my 5. After some of the beats I've taken on other games in the last 48 hours I opted for discretion on day 5 and just did the minimum, but I've got a £12 profit in qualifying so this fish is happy with that.

    I have made my 5 and even made a small profit on 4 out of 5 days.

    The idea that players have to register shortly before the tournament starts is something I have posted about many times. Although I personally think the registration should open 3 hours before the start rather than the day before.

    Hopefully this will minimise the number of players who register and then do not take part. Sit outs spoil the rhythm of the game and can give an unfair advantage to players on certain tables.

    So please only register if you intend to play.

    I would love to see this extended to tournaments like the league freeroll too.

    Thank you Santa ! You are going to be very busy making sure these presents arrive by Christmas day.
